I'm very happy with mine. I was worried that it would be easy to over-voltage my DR-680 with it by mistake. But, I've found that it always reverts back to the last voltage used every time. It's lighter than lead and powers my recorder for at least ten hours without recharging.

How many channels running phantom have you used to get that run time?


Also, good to hear the sparks are not too much to worry about.

Has anyone heard any noise on recordings using this battery?
I just got one; haven't given it my "noise check" yet and don't want to use it in a concert until I do.
This seems like a great battery (once I figure out how to protect the power switch).

IIRC there was some low level noise with the ultra cheap batteries from China; the ones a lttle larger than a pack of cigs. (was it voltage regulator?)
I have one of those too and could see that noise when zoomed in on the waveform.  I could hear it but only on the quietest parts.

Thanks,
Dave

I've used mine 2 times and have been real happy with it!!  I haven't noticed any noise from the battery.  Also, once you have it powered up and in use you can change the settings.  I like the battery because I can power my Littlebox and use the USB to power my DR-2d at the same time when I'm running 4 channels.

Thanks.
Used it yesterday on my 680 to record a symphonic band and pipe organ.
Worked great; no noise at all that I can hear or "see".
Still paranoid about using it on the 680 at 12v.  Just used it at 9v.
Think I remember it reading 12.39v on my meter.  No problems though just using it at 9v.
If I invent a "safety" for the power button, I'll share. (maybe a velcroed rigid plate)

So what tips/cable would be needed to run my Edirol UA-5 and Littlebox (with din-3) with this battery?  Anyone have an idea?

Wish I was more knowledgeable about this electronic stuff lol!

Thanks!

Here's a thread on tip sizes for lots of the gear we use here...
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=150794.0

From Ted's list in that link, the battery end of the cable would need the following tip:
Naztech PB15000 Universal Power Bank Charger / 9,12,16,18,19,20,21V / Size N, 5.50mm OD × 2.50mm ID

(Note that the Naztech is the same as this battery.  The only difference is branding.)

Here are the details for the UA-5
Edirol UA5 / 9v / Size M, 5.50mm OD × 2.10mm ID / Center pin (-)  Ring (+) Reverse Polarity / Know to run off 7.2v w/ no issues

It's important to note that the UA-5 is reverse polarity.  It won't run with switched polarity although you won't damage the preamp if you do apply reverse polarity since it's protected...it just won't power on.

For the Littebox with a DIN-3 conector, you'd need...well a DIN-3 connector.  LOL.

Yup as long as you have the right cable and set it to 12V, it'll work.  Based on the fact that my tekkeons are 40WHr batteries and and run my AD2K for around 2 3/4 - 3 hours and this battery is 66WHr, you should get between 4 and 5 hours out of one of these.  I'm gonna be recording over the weekend...I don't usually use mine for the AD2k, but if I do I'll let you know how it works out.
